Canada

Every human being is given the gift of courage. However, there are few who ever take advantage of this gift and put it to good use. Canada has taught me to be courageous, to overcome my fears and challenge myself. Living in Canada has brought me different perspectives. I have learned to open my mind to opportunities, to see the world without prejudice ,to be tolerant and get out of my comfort zone. I broke out of my boundaries and changed the way that I communicate with others .Only 3 years have passed since I moved to Canada and they have been so worthy and significant.

One of the many things which I love about this country is that Canadians accept all cultures equally. I openly consider Canada to be "my home now" .Canada has one of the world's best health systems and every citizen and permanent resident is covered by insurance plan. It's a country with high educational achievement. Canada is a leader and an example for other countries. To the best of their abilities they try to help people in any way possible. Canada puts its people first, above everything else and tries to improve human nature, relationships and lifestyles. It is also a welfare state, meaning that the government takes care of its citizen's basic social services. Other important quality of Canada is the freedom. This country is a model of how people of different national backgrounds and cultures can live and work together in peace ,prosperity and mutual respect. The people of this country are honest, friendly, polite and generous. They would say "sorry", even if you are the one bumping into them.

And last, but not least, I am amazed by the Canadian stunning nature and endless opportunities for outdoor activities which perfectly fits my lifestyle. I always remember our first family trip to Niagara Falls, beautiful city filled with tourists and attractions for everyone. Niagara Falls will always be my favourite Canadian destination. The waterfalls, hills, trees, parks and many gardens are reminders of the country's unique beauty and national features. Beautiful natural landscapes ,enjoyable and fun-filled attractions, architecture, and inclusive and wonderful culture that attracts people from all over the world. We enjoyed the fireworks, the friendly atmosphere, and the natural beauty of the city.

Canada is a unique country to me, because I will be able to fulfill my dreams and build a better life for my family. Moving here was one of the best decisions I have ever taken in my life.
